I prefer S&W DA revolvers to all other handguns, and as you may know I have a very good and long-standing relationship with the factory.
Occasionally I'll handle a revolver that will do something that a Smith & Wesson won't, like a Redhawk in .45 Colt, and I'll wish S&W had made that gun, for then the quality would be better. These are the times that I find myself daydreaming about what I would do if I were in a position of authority at S&W, and what untapped (by S&W) segments of the DA revolver market I might have the Company enter.
Not long ago, I had an epiphany: Smith & Wesson could dominatre the areas it currently ignores with almost no expenditure for engineering and with a minuscule expenditure for one new piece of tooling.
I decided to prepare my thesis as if I were doing a paper for a professor at the Harvard Business School, and present it to the right people at S&W at the SHOT show in Las Vegas Feb. 11-16. After finishing this eight-page position paper, I realized that harried business executives do not like to read eight-page papers, so I knocked it down to a page and a half of bullet points.
Harried executives do not like to read eight-page papers on guns, but gun guys on Internet discussion boards LOVE facts and details, the more the better. So I've posted my piece in its entirety on my website, at the time I leave for the SHOT show.
If you're a heavy magnum DA revolver guy, and agree I've got a good plan of action, email both me and S&W. Contact info for both of us is at the end of the piece. Go to
